The last 11 years have been an incredible chapter in…

As I mentioned in my previous post, today is my last day with Microsoft. I still have a lot of work to do in setting up my new website, but at this point, I’ve completed enough to continue blogging the “Random Musings of Jeremy Jameson”: http://www.technologytoolbox.com/blog/jjameson If you subscribed to my MSDN blog in the…

Last Thursday, I informed my manager that I have decided to leave Microsoft to pursue other opportunities. My last day will be September 2nd — just a few days shy of my 11 year anniversary date with the company (my first day was September 5, 2000). You might be wondering why I would choose to…

While it typically takes less than a minute or two to configure an expiration policy on a SharePoint document library, there may still be reasons why you want to do this using the SharePoint object model instead. For example, suppose I have a “Temporary Files” document library for which I want the files to be…

During the process of creating my previous post, I discovered the thumbnail images were not rendering as expected for the custom images that I added to the out-of-the-box SharePoint /PublishingImages picture library (via a feature). Here is the content of my original Elements.xml file (used to add the images to the library): <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″…

In part 5 of this series, I showed how you can render semantic HTML for SharePoint list items (instead of the out-of-the-box table layout) using the new XsltListViewWebPart in SharePoint 2010. Note You can achieve similar results in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 using the DataViewWebPart. For those of you that haven’t yet read…

In part 4 of this series, I provided a sample SharePoint Server 2010 solution solution based on Dan Cederholm’s Tugboat sample site (from his most recent book, Handcrafted CSS : More Bulletproof Web Design). In that sample, however, all of the content on the home page of the site is rendered as static HTML. In…

In part 2 of this series, I explained how to programmatically add a new Reusable Content list item and subsequently add it to a Publishing HTML field on a page. I also provided a complete sample for SharePoint 2010 that demonstrates how this can be accomplished with minimal effort (thanks to some nitfy helper classes)….

In my previous post, I introduced a scenario for using the “Reusable Content” feature in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 and SharePoint Server 2010. In this post, I show you how to programmatically add Reusable Content list items (which is very helpful when deploying to multiple environments, such as DEV, TEST, and PROD) as…
